A pioneering NHS unit helping people living without a sense of smell has been told by hospital bosses its referral lists must close after becoming a "victim of its own success".
Referrals to the Smell and Taste Clinic at the James Paget University Hospital (JPUH), near Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, have increased from just a couple a month to nearly 100, following recent media coverage.
Hospital management, now concerned the acceptance of more referrals will have a detrimental effect on patient waiting times, have stopped the unit accepting new patients until at least March 2013.
